WOODWARD:Okay. If you’ll give us your name and address and then begin your testimony, sir. LIM:Steve Lim. Okay. Good morning, members of the Windward Planning Commission. With me today is Carol Silva. My mailing address is PO Box 121, Hilo 96721. And I’m here representing Mr. Paul Boschetti, as the Planning Director has correctly identified his name. We are here proposing the approximately 100 Multi-Family unit project on about 5.05 acres of land. This will be a build-out of the Medium Density Urban designation for the property, as you saw from the Planning Department staff’s presentation. The area is proposed for Medium Density, and just across the street from the High Density Urban area that the public safety complex is located upon. We saw the, we’ve reviewed the Planning Department’s background and recommendations. We understand the new conditions that were proposed and we agree with the conditions of approval proposed by the Director; and we’d ask for your support. I do know that there’s at least one public witness in the audience to testify today. WOODWARD:Well, two, actually, but -. Okay, do we have any questions for Mr. Lim? I have one, actually a couple. This, well, the Department of Water Supply is requiring a master meter. You’re aware of that, I guess. LIM:That’s correct. We understand there is sufficient water; and it is a master meter because of the condominium nature of the project. So it will be one big meter where we assess individual private meters. WOODWARD:Okay. And that the access at Kapiolani shall be limited to right-turn in and right-turn out only? LIM:That’s correct. That was something that was not proposed by the applicant. But after we saw the Police Department’s concerns regarding their access driveway being right across from us, we agreed to that safety measure. WOODWARD:Okay. And then I had one other thing about this, let’s see, it would be Condition O which is the fair share contribution.And there is a deeded easement on, it’s not big. There is a deeded easement. And I meant to ask the Director if that would be, we’d recommend that that be applied to one of these other offsets that you’d have to make. LIM:I guess you’re referring to the road widening along Kapiolani? WOODWARD:Right, well, there’s, yeah, right. There’s a -. LIM:Yeah, we estimated that that was something in the neighborhood of a maximum about 800 lineal feet, and it wasn’t going to be significant enough to ask for a credit. 3 EXHIBIT A
